Official releases
=================

Official releases are available from PyPI.

Download the .zip distribution file and unpack it. Inside is a script
named "setup.py". Enter this command:

   python setup.py install

...and the package will install automatically.


Development version
===================

Alternatively, you can get the latest source from our git repository:

   git clone git://github.com/django-mptt/django-mptt.git django-mptt

Add the resulting folder to your PYTHONPATH or symlink the "mptt"
directory inside it into a directory which is on your PYTHONPATH, such
as your Python installation's "site-packages" directory.

You can verify that the application is available on your PYTHONPATH by
opening a Python interpreter and entering the following commands:

   >>> import mptt
   >>> mptt.VERSION
   (0, 5, '+dev')

When you want to update your copy of the source code, run "git pull"
from within the "django-mptt" directory.

Caution: The development version may contain bugs which are not present in
  the release version and introduce backwards-incompatible changes.If
  you're tracking master, keep an eye on the recent Commit History
  before you update your copy of the source code.
